okay, I've been a whipping boy in a 12 team league the last 3 years, this year we downgraded to 10 teams, its a Head-to-Head League with 4 keepers, my roster is like so:

C: Victor Martinez
1B: Paul Konerko
2B: Brandon Phillips
3B: Ryan Zimmerman
SS: Troy Tulowitzki
OF: Chris Young
OF: Nick Markakis
OF: Jay Bruce
UTL: James Loney
BN: Edwin Encarnacion
BN: Chase Headley

SP: Felix Hernandez
SP: John Lackey
SP: Ervin Santana
RP: JJ Putz
RP: none, traded K-Rod for Bruce
P: Jair Jurrjens
P: Fausto Carmona
P: James Shields
P: John Danks

is this a salvagable keeper league team? Also who would you keep?

I would keep Zimmerman, Tulo, Markakis, and either Felix or Phillips. Im hesistant to keep pitchers, just because there will be so many available due to only 4 keepers. It's better to keep hitters.

I would strongly consider keeping four hitters since its a 10 team league.

I know i'm keeping 4 hitters, question is which 4 Tulo can drive in 90-100 when healthy, so can Zimmerman. Loneys looked pretty impressive this year, Jay Bruce looks like a stud in the making. Phillips is a very good playr. Martinez is a power bat when healthy at a low posistion. Markakis has done well aswell.

I'd go with Tulo, Philips, Bruce and Markakis.

Then its between Zimmerman or Loney. Loney will prolly have a better avg, but im biased for Zimmerman. I think he's going to have a monster bounce back next year.
